RISThe Role of Shape and Heart Rate on the Performance of the Left Ventricle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The left ventricle function is to pump the oxygenated blood through the circulatory system. Ejection fraction is the main noninvasive parameter for detecting heart disease (healthy >55%), and it is thought to be the ...
The Effect of Implantation Orientation of a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve on Kinematics and Hemodynamics in an Anatomic Aorta
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We carry out three-dimensional high-resolution numerical simulations of a bileaflet mechanical heart valve under physiologic pulsatile flow conditions implanted at different orientations in an ...
Evaluation of Highway Projects under Government Support Mechanisms Based on an Option-Pricing Framework
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Different features included in public-private partnership (PPP) highway projects such as limited liability of the leveraged firm and government support mechanisms [e.g., price adjustment clauses (PACs)] result in ...
New Lateral Force Distribution for Seismic Design of Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the conventional seismic design methods, heightwise distribution of equivalent seismic loads seems to be related implicitly on the elastic vibration modes. Therefore, the employment of such a load pattern does not ...
Evaluation of Highway Projects under Government Support Mechanisms Based on an Option-Pricing Framework
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Different features included in public-private partnership (PPP) highway projects such as limited liability of the leveraged firm and government support mechanisms [e.g., price adjustment clauses (PACs)] result in asymmetric ...
Trade-Offs between Economic Benefits, GHG Emissions, and Nitrate, Phosphate, and Salinity Balances in Agricultural Land and Water Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Agricultural land, water, and fertilizer utilization significantly impact the nutrient and water balances and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study explores the impacts of agricultural water, land, and fertilizer ...
Elucidating the Role of Supplementary Cementitious Materials on Shrinkage and Restrained-Shrinkage Cracking of Flowable Eco-Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of composition and the resultant reaction of blended binders proportioned with a high volume of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on shrinkage and restrained shrinkage cracking ...
Nonlinear Robust Roll Autopilot Design Using Sum-of-Squares Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we study nonlinear robust stabilization of roll channel of a pursuit using the sum of squares (SOS) technique. Roll control is a fundamental part of flight control for every pursuit. A nonlinear state feedback ...
Closure to “Erosion Charts for Selected Geomaterials” by Jean-Louis Briaud, Anand V. Govindasamy, and Iman Shafii

Evaluation of Aeroacoustic Performance of a Helmholtz Resonator System with Different Resonator Cavity Shapes in the Presence of a Grazing Flow
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, the effect of the resonator cavity shape on a constant volume is investigated for the aeroacoustics performance of a Helmholtz resonator system. This scrutiny is performed for various Mach numbers of the ...
